BACKGROUND

Myeloid Cell Leukemia 1 (Mcl-1) is an important anti-apoptotic member of the BCL-2 family of proteins and a master regulator of cell survival. Amplification of the MCL1 gene and/or overexpression of the Mcl-1 protein has been observed in multiple cancer types and is commonly implicated in tumor development. In fact, MCL1 is one of the most frequently amplified genes in human cancer. In many malignancies, Mcl-1 is a critical survival factor and it has been shown to mediate drug resistance to a variety of anti-cancer agents.

Mcl-1 promotes cell survival by binding to pro-apoptotic proteins like Bim, Noxa, Bak, and Bax and neutralizing their death-inducing activities. Inhibition of Mcl-1 thereby releases these pro-apoptotic proteins, often leading to the induction of apoptosis in tumor cells dependent on Mcl-1 for survival. Therapeutically targeting Mcl-1 alone or in combination with other therapies, therefore, is a promising strategy to treat a multitude of malignancies and to overcome drug resistance in many human cancers.

The language “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” includes acid addition or base salts that retain the biological effectiveness and properties of the compounds of Formula (I), (II) and (III) and, which typically are not biologically or otherwise undesirable. In many cases, the compounds of Formula (I), (II) and (III) are capable of forming acid and/or base salts by virtue of the presence of basic and/or carboxyl groups or groups similar thereto. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt includes quaternary ammonium salts.

Pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts can be formed with inorganic acids and organic acids, e.g., acetate, aspartate, benzoate, besylate, bromide/hydrobromide, bicarbonate/carbonate, bisulfate/sulfate, camphorsulfonate, chloride/hydrochloride, chlortheophyllonate, citrate, ethanedisulfonate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hippurate, hydroiodide/iodide, isethionate, lactate, lactobionate, laurylsulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, mandelate, mesylate, methylsulfate, naphthoate, napsylate, nicotinate, nitrate, octadecanoate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, palmoate, phosphate/hydrogen phosphate/dihydrogen phosphate, polygalacturonate, propionate, stearate, succinate, subsalicylate, sulfate/hydrogensulfate, tartrate, tosylate and trifluoroacetate salts. Inorganic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and the like. Organic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, sulfosalicylic acid, and the like.

Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can be formed with inorganic and organic bases. Inorganic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, ammonia and salts of ammonium and metals from columns I to XII of the periodic table. In certain embodiments, the salts are derived from sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, silver, zinc, and copper; particularly suitable salts include ammonium, potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium salts. Organic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, basic ion exchange resins, and the like. Certain organic amines include isopropylamine, benzathine, cholinate, diethanolamine, diethylamine, lysine, meglumine, piperazine and tromethamine. In some aspects, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I), (II) or (III) is the sodium salt. In some aspects, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I), (II) or (III) is the meglumine salt.

The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of a compound of Formula (I), (II) or (III) can be synthesized from a basic or acidic moiety, by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts can be prepared by reacting free acid forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base (such as Na⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, or K⁺ hydroxide, carbonate, bicarbonate or the like), or by reacting free base forms of these compounds with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate acid. Such reactions are typically carried out in water or in an organic solvent, or in a mixture of the two. Generally, use of non-aqueous media like ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile is desirable, where practicable. Lists of additional suitable salts can be found, e.g., in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences,” 20th ed., Mack Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., (1985); Berge et al., “J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66, 1-19 and in “Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use” by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, Weinheim, Germany, 2002).

Any formula given herein is also intended to represent unlabeled forms as well as isotopically labeled forms for a compound of Formula (I), (II) or (III). Isotopically labeled compounds have structures depicted by the formulas given herein except that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom of the same element but with differing mass number. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the compounds of Formula (I), (II) and (III) and their salts include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ³⁵S and ¹²⁵I. The compounds of Formula (I), (II) and (III) may include various isotopically labeled compounds into which radioactive isotopes, such as, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹⁴C, ³⁵S and ³⁶Cl are present. Isotopically labeled compounds of Formula (I), (II) and (III) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the accompanying Examples using appropriate isotopically labeled reagents in place of the non-labeled reagents previously employed.

The compounds of Formula (I), (II) and (III) may have different isomeric forms. The language “optical isomer” or “stereoisomer” refers to any of the various stereoisomeric configurations which may exist for a given compound of Formula (I), (II) or (III). In particular, the compounds of Formula (I), (II) or (III) possess axial chirality, by virtue of restricted rotation around a biaryl bond and as such may exist as mixtures of enantiomers/atropisomers with enantiomeric excess between about 0% and >98% e.e. When a compound is a pure enantiomer, the stereochemistry at each chiral center may be specified by either R_(a) or S_(a). Such designations may also be used for mixtures that are enriched in one enantiomer. Further description of atropisomerism and axial chirality and rules for assignment of configuration can be found in Eliel, E.L. & Wilen, S. H. ‘Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds’ John Wiley and Sons, Inc. 1994. Resolved compounds whose absolute configuration is unknown can be designated (+) or (−) depending on the direction (dextro- or levorotatory) which they rotate plane polarized light at the wavelength of the sodium D line. The present disclosure is meant to include all such possible isomers, including racemic mixtures, optically pure forms and intermediate mixtures. Optically active (R_(a))- and (S_(a))-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons, chiral reagents or chiral catalysts, or resolved using conventional techniques well known in the art, such as chiral HPLC.

Also disclosed herein the Intermediates 1-25 in the Examples, and salts thereof.

Solid Forms

In some embodiments, disclosed are solid forms of the compounds of Formula (I), (II) and (III), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The term “solid form” includes polymorphs, crystalline salts, solvates, hydrates and amorphous forms of the compounds of Formula (I), (II) or (III). The term “polymorph” includes crystalline materials that have the same chemical composition but different molecular packing. The language “crystalline salt” includes crystalline structures with the same chemical materials, but incorporating acid or base addition salts within the molecular packing of the crystalline structure. The term “solvate” includes crystalline structures of the same chemical material, but incorporating molecules of solvent within the molecular packing of the crystalline structure. The term “hydrates” includes crystalline structures of the same chemical material, but incorporating molecules of water within the molecular packing of the crystalline structure. The language “amorphous form” includes compounds of the same molecular material but without the molecular order of a crystalline structure (e.g., polymorph, crystalline salt, solvate or hydrate) of the same molecular material.

It is generally known that solid materials may be characterized using conventional techniques such as X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD), Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy, Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, solution and/or solid state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The water content of such solid materials may be determined by Karl Fischer analysis.

The solid forms described herein provide XRPD patterns substantially the same as the XRPD patterns shown in the Figures, and have the various 2-theta (2θ) values as shown in the Tables included herein. One skilled in the art will understand that an XRPD pattern or diffractogram may be obtained which has one or more measurement errors depending on the recording conditions, such as the equipment or machine used. Similarly, it is generally known that intensities in an XRPD pattern may fluctuate depending on measurement conditions or sample preparation as a result of preferred orientation. Persons skilled in the art of XRPD will further realize that the relative intensity of peaks can also be affected by, for example, grains above 30 μm in size and non-unitary aspect ratios. The skilled person understands that the position of reflections can be affected by the precise height at which the sample sits in the diffractometer, and also the zero calibration of the diffractometer. The surface planarity of the sample may also have a small effect.

As a result of these considerations, the diffraction pattern data presented are not to be taken as absolute values (Jenkins, R & Snyder, R. L. ‘Introduction to X-Ray Powder Diffractometry’ John Wiley & Sons 1996; Bunn, C. W. (1948), ‘Chemical Crystallography’, Clarendon Press, London; Klug, H. P. & Alexander, L. E. (1974), ‘X-Ray Diffraction Procedures’). It should also be understood that the solid forms embodied herein are not limited to those that provide XRPD patterns that are identical to the XRPD pattern shown in the Figures, and any solid forms providing XRPD patterns substantially the same as those shown in the Figures fall within the scope of the corresponding embodiment. A person skilled in the art of XRPD is able to judge the substantial identity of XRPD patterns. Generally, a measurement error of a diffraction angle in an XRPD is approximately 2θ (±0.2°, and such degree of a measurement error should be taken into account when considering the X-ray powder diffraction pattern in the Figures and when reading data contained in the Tables included herein.

A person skilled in the art also understands that the value or range of values observed in a particular compound's DSC thermogram will show variation between batches of different purities. Therefore, whilst for one compound the range may be small, for others the range may be quite large. Generally, a measurement error of a diffraction angle in DSC thermal events is approximately plus or minus 5° C., and such degree of a measurement error should be taken into account when considering the DSC data included herein. TGA thermograms show similar variations, such that a person skilled in the art recognizes that measurement errors should be taken into account when judging substantial identity of TGA thermograms.

Caspase Activity Assay

This is a cell assay to measure the induction of apoptosis in MOLP-8 (multiple myeloma), KMS-12-BM (multiple myeloma), MV-4-11 (acute myeloid leukemia), and NCI-H23 (non-small cell lung cancer) cells after 6 h treatment. On the first day, 3000 (MOLP-8, KMS-12-BM, MV-4-11) or 1250 (NCI-H23) cells/well were seeded in 50 μL of growth media (IMDM+10% FBS+2 mM L-Glu for MV-4-11 and RPMI-1640+10% FBS+2 mM L-Glu for all other cell lines) in 384-well white microplates, and incubated overnight (37° C., 5% CO₂, 80% RH). On the second day, the cells were treated with Mcl-1 inhibitors using an ECHO acoustic liquid handler (10 point half-log serial dilution, 31.5 μM top concentration, 0.3% final DMSO concentration). After 6 h incubation (37° C., 5% CO₂, 80% RH), 25 μL of Caspase-Glo 3/7 reagent (Promega) was added into each well, and plates were incubated at room temperature for 30 min protected from light. Luminescence was recorded using an Infinite M200 microplate reader (Tecan) with a 100 ms integration time. EC₅₀ values were calculated using GeneData analysis software.

X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) Analysis

XRPD analysis was performed using a Bruker D4 diffractometer, which is commercially available from Bruker AXS Inc™ (Madison, Wis.). The XRPD spectra were obtained by mounting a sample (approximately 20 mg) of the material for analysis on a single silicon crystal wafer mount (e.g., a Bruker silicon zero background X-ray diffraction sample holder) and spreading out the sample into a thin layer with the aid of a microscope slide. The sample was spun at 30 revolutions per minute (to improve counting statistics) and irradiated with X-rays generated by a copper long-fine focus tube operated at 40 kV and 40 mA with a wavelength of 1.5406 angstroms (i.e., about 1.54 angstroms). The sample was exposed for 1 second per 0.02 degree 2-theta increment (continuous scan mode) over the range 2 degrees to 40 degrees 2-theta in theta-theta mode. The running time was 31 min, 41 s.

XRPD 2θ values may vary with a reasonable range, e.g., in the range ±0.2° and that XRPD intensities may vary when measured for essentially the same crystalline form for a variety of reasons including, for example, preferred orientation. Principles of XRPD are described in publications, such as, for example, Giacovazzo, C. et al. (1995), Fundamentals of Crystallography, Oxford University Press; Jenkins, R. and Snyder, R. L. (1996), Introduction to X-Ray Powder Diffractometry, John Wiley & Sons, New York; and Klug, H. P. & Alexander, L. E. (1974), X-ray Diffraction Procedures, John Wiley and Sons, New York.

DSC Analysis DSC analysis was performed on samples prepared according to standard methods using a Q SERIES™ Q1000 DSC calorimeter available from TA INSTRUMENTS® (New Castle, Del.). A sample (approximately 2 mg) was weighed into an aluminum sample pan and transferred to the DSC. The instrument was purged with nitrogen at 50 mL/min and data collected between about 22° C. and 300° C., using a dynamic heating rate of about 10° C./minute. Thermal data was analyzed using standard software, e.g., Universal v.4.5A from TA INSTRUMENTS®.

Thermogravimetry Analysis (TGA)

TGA was performed on samples prepared according to standard methods using a Q SERIES™ Q5000 thermogravimetry analyzer available from TA Instruments INSTRUMENTS® (New Castle, Del.). A sample (approximately 5 mg) was placed into an aluminum sample pan and transferred to the TGA furnace. The instrument was purged with nitrogen at 50 mL/min and data collected between 25° C. and 300° C., using a dynamic heating rate of 10° C./minute. Thermal data was analyzed using standard software, e.g., Universal v.4.5A from TA INSTRUMENTS®.

Example 6: Single Agent and Combination Activity of Example 2 In Vivo in Human Multiple Myeloma Tumor Models

Method: Example 2 was formulated in 30% 2-Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD), pH 9 and dosed as intravenously (iv) in a volume of 5 ml/kg. 5×10⁶ MOLP-8 tumor cells or 10⁷ NCI-H929 tumor cells were injected subcutaneously in the right flank of C.B-17 SCID female mice in a volume of 0.1 mL. Tumor volumes (measured by caliper) were calculated using the formula: length (mm)×width (mm)²/0.52. For efficacy studies, mice were randomized based on tumor volumes and growth inhibition was assessed by comparison of the differences in tumor volume between control and treated groups. Dosing began when mean tumor size reached approximately 160 mm³ for MOLP-8 and approximately 230 mm³ for NCI-H929.

Results: Example 2 induced dose dependent anti-tumor activity in MOLP-8 tumor bearing mice (FIG. 14). A single iv administration of Example 2 at 10 or 30 mg/kg resulted in significant anti-tumor activity of 52% and 92% tumor growth inhibition (TGI), respectively. A single iv administration of Example 2 at 60 or 100 mg/kg induced complete tumor regression in 13 out of 14 mice measured 10 days after dosing.

Example 2 also demonstrated combination benefit with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in NCI-H929 tumor bearing mice (FIG. 15). Administration of Example 2 every other week at 30 mg/kg in combination with weekly administration of bortezomib at 1 mg/kg resulted in tumor regression whereas no significant anti-tumor activity was observed with either agent alone.

Example 7: Single Agent Activity In Vivo in a Human Acute Myeloid Leukemia Tumor Model

Method: Example 2 was formulated in 30% 2-Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD), pH 9 and dosed as a single intravenous (iv) administration in a volume of 5 ml/kg. 10⁶ MV-4-11 tumor cells were injected subcutaneously in the right flank of C.B-17 SCID female mice in a volume of 0.1 mL. Tumor volumes (measured by caliper), animal body weight, and tumor conditions were recorded twice weekly for the duration of the study. Tumor volumes (measured by caliper) were calculated using the formula: length (mm)×width (mm)²/0.52. For efficacy studies, mice were randomized based on tumor volumes and growth inhibition was assessed by comparison of the differences in tumor volume between control and treated groups. Dosing began when mean tumor size reached approximately 230 mm³.

Results: Treatment with Example 2 resulted in significant anti-tumor activity in mice bearing subcutaneous MV-4-11 tumors. Mice receiving a single dose of 100 mg/kg Example 2 experienced 100% tumor regression (FIG. 16). The response was durable with 4 of the 6 mice remaining tumor free 16 days after therapy. Mice receiving once weekly iv administrations of 30 mg/kg Example 2 also experienced tumor regression (˜73% at Day 6) with 1 of 6 mice remaining tumor free 16 days after initiation of therapy.

Example 8: In Vitro Binding Potency of Examples 1, 2 and 3

Biochemical binding TR-FRET assay for measuring protein complex disruption TR-FRET assay was used to assess the ability of compounds to disrupt the interaction between recombinant human Mcl-1 with a labeled BIM peptide probe.

The assay was constructed such that GST tagged Mcl-1 protein, was incubated with a Europium-labeled anti-GST antibody and a HyLite Fluor 647-labeled peptide corresponding to the BH3 domain of BIM. Compound IC₅₀ values were assessed following a 10-point, half-log₁₀ dilution schema starting at 100 μM or 10 μM compound concentration. Specifically, human Mcl-1 enzyme from Mcl-1 (E171-G327) was cloned into an overexpression vector, expressed as an N-terminal GST-tagged fusion protein in E. coli and subsequently purified via Glutathione Sepharose-affinity and size-exclusion chromatography. The assay was performed in 384-Well LV plates (Greiner cat #784075) and run in the presence and absence of the compound of interest. Each well of 12 μL assay mixture contained 10 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 1.0 mM DTT, 0.005% Tween-20, 150 mM NaCl, 10% DMSO, and 1.5 nM GST Mcl-1, 0.5 nM LanthaScreen Eu tagged GST antibody (Invitrogen Catalog #PV5594), 4.0 nM HyLite Fluor 647-labeled BIM peptide [C(Hilyte647 C2 Maleimide)-WIAQELRRIGDEFN (SEQ ID NO:1)]. Reactions were incubated at 24° C. for 90 min before reading on a Tecan M1000 spectrfluorometer with excitation at 340 nm and emission at 612 nm & 665 nm. Subsequently, ratio of fluorescent emission intensity at 665 nm to 612 nm was calculated for each reaction, and the dose-response of the ratio to testing compound concentration was fitted to a select fit model that will provide the best fit quality using automatic parameter to derive IC₅₀ values for each testing compound. Table 9 provides the results from the TR-FRET Mcl1 binding assay.

TABLE 9 Compound McI-1 IC₅₀ (nM) Example 1 <3 (Compound I) Example 2 <3 (Compound II) Example 3 67 (Compound III)

Note: Caspase activity of Example 3 (Compound III) as reported in Table 1 and FRET activity of Example 3 (Compound III) as reported in Table 9 is highly dependent on enantiomeric purity since the majority of the activity arises from residual impurity of the R_(a) enantiomer (Example 2, Compound II). As such, samples with lower enantiomeric purity exhibit increased potency in these assays. The data presented are the geometric mean of multiple measurements from samples of varying enantiomeric purity.
